asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether, in view of the fact that meat is rationed to very small quantities per head, he will take steps to ensure that all offal and non-rationed meat is made available for purchase by the public and not stored?

I can assure my hon. Friend that all offal and non-rationed meat, with the exception of canned corned beef, is made available to the public. Canned corned beef is at present being put to reserve so as to meet the requirements of the Fighting Services and other emergency needs.
